{"product_id":"the-river-house","title":"The River House","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe River House is a spellbinding debut novel, resonant of childhoods past and the beauty of the Australian countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the late 1940s, and the Broody River runs through a maze of sandbanks into the Coral Sea. On its southern bank lies the holiday town of Baroodibah. But its northern shore is wild - unsettled except for the River House, an old weatherboard box on stumps where the Carlyle family take their holidays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor four-year-old Laurie Carlyle the house and its untold stories fire the imagination. It is a place of boating trips and nature collections, of the wind howling, the sheoaks sighing and the pelicans soaring into the blue sky. But when a squabble between Laurie and her older brother Tony takes an unexpected turn, she detects the first hints of family discord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the years pass, the River House holidays seem to shine a light on the undercurrents in the family: the secret from her mother's past, the bitterness between Tony and their father Doug, and her sister Miranda's increasingly erratic and dangerous behaviour . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the family's story through the decades, The River House is a richly nostalgic novel about love and betrayal, personal tragedy and thwarted ambition, illusion and remorse. Above all it is about change, and the slow but relentless march of time.\u003cbr\u003e\nGenres\u003cbr\u003e\nHistorical Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\nFiction\u003cbr\u003e\nMystery\u003cbr\u003e\nLiterary Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\nHistorical\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"English Book House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47698735464702,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/9616\/9214\/files\/The-River-House-English-Book-House-2562995.jpg?v=1768481485","url":"https:\/\/kitabfaroosh.com\/products\/the-river-house","provider":"Kitab Faroosh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
